There are many modes of travel you can deicide to take.
Walking. Running. Biking.

Hitchhiking.
The list goes on.
But what if you couldn't choose how you get around?
For Justin Skeesuck there is only one option...
Travel by wheelchair.

It's what you do that defines you, not your limitations.
I NEVER let it stop me.
On Travel...
I always had a passion for it (travel), I just needed to figure out a way to make it happen.
I just love meeting new people and that's the best part about it.

You just have to jump in and see how you come out on the other side.
